SJR 1091 North Carolina Senate · 2025-2026 Session

Adjournment Resolution.

This joint resolution establishes a schedule for the 2025 North Carolina General Assembly to pause and resume in four specific stages throughout late 2026. The bill directs the legislature to adjourn on four set dates in August, September, and October, with each break lasting approximately three weeks before reconvening at noon on a Monday. During these interim sessions, lawmakers are restricted from introducing new legislation and may only consider specific items such as overriding gubernatorial vetoes, handling appointments, addressing election laws, resolving litigation, or proposing constitutional amendments. Ultimately, the resolution provides a structured timeline for the legislative body to finish its work and formally end the session sine die by the end of November 2026.
